The theme of shaping an intermodal rail, tram and road transport hub and the link with the nearby and rapidly expanding Milan Orio al Serio airport have suggested looking at this area from the perspective of the region and no longer solely from that of the city. Reformulating a new centre that enjoys conditions of high accessibility makes it possible to think about new forms of habitability and new uses complementary to and synergic with the existing city. A ‘new ground’, laid on top of the belt of tracks in operation, permits the continuation of the city to the south and allows it to be reunited with the country and the regional parks. The project is divided into two complementary parts linked by the new piece of ground: Compact City and Campus.
